Description

Hawke’s Bay has earned its reputation as New Zealand's home for Bordeaux blends, and the Falconhead 2019 is an excellent example of what the region can achieve. This blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon benefits from fruit sourced from two premium vineyards in Hawke’s Bay, showcasing the region’s unique terroir. The exceptional 2019 vintage, one of the best in recent memory, offered ideal growing conditions, ensuring the grapes ripened perfectly to produce a wine of balance and finesse. Now with a few years of bottle age, the Falconhead 2019 is at its peak, offering layers of dark fruit, subtle oak, and smooth tannins. Whether you're pairing it with hearty dishes or enjoying it on its own, this wine is a testament to Hawke’s Bay’s Bordeaux-style winemaking pedigree—a superb value for those seeking a wine that is both approachable and easy drinking.
Smell: Aromas of dark summer fruits are supported by gentle oak and spice.
Tastes: The palate is soft and rich, exhibiting deep berry flavours, ripe cassis notes with toasty vanilla oak, gentle tannins, and great length. A very approachable and easy drinking style, perfect drinking now through 2025 and will match with BBQ meats. The recommended serving temperature is 16-18 degrees.
